Well, I suppose that most clothing wears out/smells/whatever after a while.

He was considerate enough not to remind her about her leather pants from high school.

Oh. Wow. Nobody's posted a thread yet. Gee. You see, I don't have the bona fides for this, but WTF, eh?
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!! OMG, WTF is he all right?

No damage, just another thread was posted while I was exhibiting manual dexterity.

I just wanted to say that I was raised in a community that was like 80% Norwegian so watching Dora go blond is like a major turnoff. Ebony tresses, now that's exotic and tres sexy.

Just noticed that in panel two Dora's right arm is chunkier than her left. I thought that only happened with guys, and only with guys without girlfriends at that. And no, you can't measure my biceps.

Marten retired a hoodie!?

It's the end of an era! RRRUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!

A Hoodie Pieta would be pretty funny.

There's a lot of things you do with your arm muscles besides masturbating.

I can identify with Marten here (maybe for the first time). My favorite hoodie is also falling apart. It sucks, cos it is so comfortable and fits perfectly. I already lost my favorite pair of jeans to the ravages of time. Le sigh.

@ Jarvis - Maybe she just washed the hoodie because the french fry smell bothered her so much.

mattgcn · « **Reply #11 on:** 28 Jun 2009, 23:17 »

I'm glad his shirt says Fever Ray. I think I'm going to invest in some plain black t-shirts on which I will scribble with white fabric marker to be more like Marten

The comic reads as if he has only one hoodie - but he's told us he's got lots.

And "pace" is correct.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #14 on:** 28 Jun 2009, 23:55 »

I'll take your word on it. My Latin-to-English dictionary seems to fail me more often than not.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #15 on:** 28 Jun 2009, 23:58 »

Your Latin-to-English dictionary obviously doesn't feel the need to decline its nouns.

Akima · « **Reply #16 on:** 29 Jun 2009, 00:08 »

Technically, pace is the singular Ablative case of the noun pax. Of course you could just say "Rest In Peace" but everything sounds cooler in Latin.

And yeah, I thought Marten had a breeding colony of black hoodies in the back of his wardrobe.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #17 on:** 29 Jun 2009, 00:15 »

It isn't just the hoodie, Dora has been washing his underwear too: can't find the strip number, but she tells Hannelore that Marten's laundry is free of skid marks.

Ghanima Atreides · « **Reply #18 on:** 29 Jun 2009, 00:23 »

She could have noticed that during the various times he took his undies off.

In other words, Latin is the 'slow-motion' of languages? I can see that.

As for Dora washing Marten's clothes, I think that's moving a bit fast. Next he's going to be taking out her garbage. And then...then someone (guess who) gets assigned the role of dish-washer. (And never mind if you have a dishwasher—teh womens insist on pre-washing).

Older dishwashers couldn't handle more stuff on the dishes than a little grease, so you had to do this. Of course, now dishwashers often have a garbage disposal built in to the drain and run commercials where they put in a plate with an entire chocolate cake on it, so I'm guessing this doesn't apply as much anymore.

Well I for one never studied Latin. As a consequence I've had to look up what "Pieta" meant only to find its Italian and not Latin. Hurrah for Wikipedia.

Why? IS she too strong, intelligent, and fiercely independant to help out with normal chores now?

Seriously guys, it's pretty obvious she's not a goth anymore, and its never stated that Marten doesn;t take turns doing this stuff too.

Who knows, perhaps Jeph is considering having them tie the knot? Could be an interesting arc.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #29 on:** 29 Jun 2009, 21:12 »

Jeph did say once that none of the characters are close to being grown up enough to make a marriage work.

LucyStag · « **Reply #30 on:** 29 Jun 2009, 22:21 »

50-50 on certain chores is one thing, but I have to agree on confusion over why a woman who doesn't live with her boyfriend would be doing his laundry. I live with my boyfriend and I NEVER do his laundry (though he does occasionally add some of mine to his loads.)

And uh, ladies could easily have larger right hands. For all sorts of reasons, some more eyebrow-worthy than others. Seriously, I was just thinking how worthless my left arm is in some ways. All about the right hand. If you fellows know what I am saying.

I am both laughing my ass off and fearing for Jeph's sanity. This is simultaneously the most hilarious and fucked up thing I've seen in awhile. Bravo!

Maybe, one of them does not have facilities in their building,and the other does. In that case wouldn't it be natural for them to share laundry responsibilities simply as a matter of convienience?

Also, love Dora's reaction in Panel three.

Indeed. Its not like Marty is sitting around on the couch in a stained wife beater, bottle of Coors in hand, watching NASCAR while Dora frets around in an oversized Brooks & Dunn t-shirt, barefooted and fixing her man a steakum sammich.

Edit: Craziness in panel five would make a great shirt/print.
